Former Obama national security adviser Susan Rice, appeared on ABC's"The View" criticizing President Donald Trump's decision to withdraw U.S. troops from northern Syria, saying the White House is leaving its Kurdish allies"to the wolves."
Rice, also a former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, said the U.S. role on the ground in northern Syria has been very limited, providing mainly training, advice, equipment and air support. In another, Trump accused Rice of committing a crime in 2017 when she had the names of Americans -- who turned out to be Trump's associates -- unmasked in a classified foreign intelligence report. The president did not offer any evidence for his claim that Rice's actions were criminal, and she has repeatedly said the unmasking process was routine and not politically motivated.
